Champions Tour Driving Distance Watch
/
With its season concluding, here's a look at the Champions Tour driving distance leaders through the years:
- 2005: 52 players averaging over 270 yards, 25 players averaging over 280 yards, 6 players over 290 yards, 1 over 300 yards (first time ever, Dan Pohl)
- 2002: 8 players averaging over 280 yards, 1 player over 290 yards
- 1998: 3 players averaging over 280 yards
- 1995: 4 players averaging over 270 yards
Yes, that's right, the Senior/Valiant Competitors/Champions Tour leader in driving distance is up 36 yards from 1988 to 2005.
If only those guys would have been working out in the late 80s...
The distance leader in 1988 at 264.9 (Bob Boldt), would have placed 63rd in 2005, just ahead of the notoriously long hitting Morris Hatalsky.
